There are a lot of “Best of 2011” games lists out there, many leaning towards console or PC, depending on where it was coming from. If found the list from Wired to have nice overlap with many other sources, and seemed fairly unbiased.
However, I’m surprised COD didn’t make the list, considering the sales record it set this year.
Here’s the top ten:
10. Dead Space 2
9. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
8. Dark Souls
7. Bastion
6. Super Mario 3D Land
5. L.A. Noire
4. Portal 2
3. Batman: Arkham City
2. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Agree? Disagree?
What would you add to this list?
What was your favorite from 2011?

ooooh – nice – Just finished Portal 2 which I got for Christmas. Although it was short it was thoroughly satisfying. – Looking forward to Skyrim,

I was about to throw a tantrum because Starcraft 2 wasn’t on the list, but then I realized it was released in 2010.
Eric Dye says
You would have been justified of your tantrum, too. 🙂
